- One meals via my husband making fruit smoothies and calling it dinner. My kids love this, he grins and bears it, and I laid on the couch anticipating an imminent return from an earlier meal.

- Two trips to the lake, two walks in the woods, and two visits to the park. The beautiful weather has been wonderful for three active kids.

- Millions of colorful leaves everywhere I look. My kids take notice and comment; my heart smiles at God's creativity; and my window views make washing dishes that much more enjoyable.

- Six days of November Thanksgiving Tree Leaves, two fall-related crafts, and three holiday-related movies. Three little people in my home thoroughly enjoy this time of year!

- Six inches gone for my once a year haircut, except in this case it was about 18 months. I've lost a couple of pounds and gained about 10 minutes of time with the lighter locks to blow dry.

- Half of my Christmas shopping is done and I haven't left the house. Is there a reason not to love online shopping?

- I've gained 25 pounds and if I stay on par with my other three pregnancies, I have five to seven more yet to gain before baby arrives. My maternity wardrobe is simply a uniform of four options and I rotate.

And, most exciting, ONE week closer to meeting my new little man, with approximately six weeks left until he arrives!

Love these by the number posts...always make me think I could just ease back into blogging with a nice simple one like this...wishful thinking, I guess!But, regardless of your posts, I am always encouraged & inspired! (This week inspired to follow your lead & use my crock pot more!) Love your haircut!! And love the nesting as evidenced by all of the clothes sorting & giving away!!

I agree with Melanie...someone is NESTING!!! :-) I love your haircut too! Thank you for passing along some of your baby clothes to mommies that need them. I cannot wait to meet your little man and cover him with kisses! I think you are officially on the home stretch! ;-)

I'm a proud wife and mom who stays busy keeping her husband ironed and matching and her four kids alive. I enjoy writing/editing when I can, and wish there were more hours in a day to give to God's church and His ministries. I love the NC mountains and beaches - but not the BBQ and the sweet tea.
